The way to master this is to work with seconds and a pending message:

on DisplayRightStack
   local tMidnightSeconds
   -----
   put the short date into tMidnightSeconds
   convert tMidnightSeconds to seconds
   -- tDate contains the seconds from today at 0:00
   if the seconds >= tMidnightSeconds + (9*3600) then -- 9 AM
     <go stack "Morning" process>
   else if the seconds >= tMidnightSeconds + (14*3600) then -- 2 PM
     <close stack "Morning" process>
     <go stack "Afternoon" process>
   else if the seconds >= tMidnightSeconds + (20*3600) then -- 8 PM
     <close stack "Afternoon" process>
     <go stack "Evening" process>
   else if the seconds < tMidnightSeconds + (9*3600) then -- before 9 AM
      <close stack "Evening" process>
    end if
   -----
   if "DisplayRightStack" is not in the pendingMessages then
     send "DisplayRightStack" to me in 60 seconds
   end if
end DisplayRightStack

See seconds, convert, pendingMessages, send and related topics in the  
docs.
